» PLOT «
Alice, after following a white rabbit, falls into Wonderland. As she explores Wonderland, she comes to discover a whole cast of unique characters.

I was bored. What really happens?

» READABILITY «
This was an easy read due to it being an audiobook, but if I had to read it with my eyes, I would have a harder time.

» CHARACTERS «
Alice is pretty plain, and I know that's there to juxtapose her and the rest of Wonderland, but honestly none of the characters are all that likable. Point added for originality, points taken for unlikability.

» WRITING «
This might just be me, but I felt myself get distracted A LOT while reading this. It might be due to the fact that I was reading an audiobook, but the best kinds of audiobook can keep me captivated (See Renegades and Rebecca Soler's narration.)

» OVERALL «
The gif above was how I was reading this book.

Overall, a unique and classic story, but I'd rather read a retelling.

Might I suggest some books I read awhile (like 7+ years) ago: The Looking Glass Wars or Alice in Zombieland

Or try this retelling from the villains point of view: Heartless

Also, considering that I didn't love any of the books mentioned above, I don't think this story is the best for me.
